Good application for MySQL

Hi guys,

I'm seeking a good application for MySQL that has a similar relationship between MS acess and SQL database.

In other words,

MS Acess VS. SQL database = X VS. MySQL

Can you please help me find that X?
I'm seeking an application that can help me create switchboard and create the interface where I can enter data in that fashion. (So I'm not seeking application such as phpmyadmin.)

I'm aware that there are data conversion tools out there, but just wondering if I can do it directly without conversion.

Yes, you are correct. That is not something that I was looking for. But, the fact that it was developed in UC Berkeley was the first line I read about PostgreSQL. So.. hah.

And yes, data conversion does not really help me. I'm actually looking for a feature similar to Access where you can create 'pages' with forms where customers can input directly into the database. Only that I'm searching for a tool that supports PHP/MySQL. (Since I'm not a programmer, I need a tool that can do this for me.)

It doesn't have all the options that Access has, though. For example the option to connect the tables and then build the queries visually is not supported.

<off-topic>I am more and more getting the impression, Access is frequently used to access other databases (Oracle, ....) over ODBC and provide a front-end. At least, that's what we did at University </off-topic>
